Will Birmingham bid farewell to Ozzy Osbourne with a grand celebration? Hundreds of stars might attend. The deceased singer had already revealed years ago how he envisioned his funeral.

Ozzy Osbourne, the “prince of darkness” and godfather of heavy metal, has died aged 76, just weeks after he reunited with Black Sabbath bandmates for a farewell concert in his hometown of Birmingham in England.

Ozzy Osbourne performed his final concert with Black Sabbath on July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, while sitting on a bat-themed throne. The 76-year-old rocker was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2003.

The rapper walked out to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," the 1970 hit track about a time-traveling metal monster off Paranoid. Taking the stage, Drake addressed the thousands gathered at Utilita Arena Birmingham, as fan footage captured: "Hey Birmingham! Rest in peace to the legendary Ozzy Osbourne."

In Birmingham, England, the singer’s hometown, fans paid tribute by leaving flowers, beer and tequila. The rapper Drake was there to pay his respects, too.

Along with “Blizzard of Ozz,” the album that bore this title track is Osbourne’s best seller. The single, meanwhile, is ushered in with a gripping bass line and an undercurrent of keyboards until Osbourne makes his grand vocal entrance, all sneers and snarls.
